John R.

With a doctorate in English Literature and over ten years of professional writing experience, I am a highly qualified writer, editor, and proofreader. From academic journals and newspapers to trade publications and websites, I have produced clear, effective writing in a variety of contexts. Last year alone I secured over $200,000 in grants for several organizations.

Are you a business owner looking to publish an oped in a trade publication? A nonprofit professional trying to meet a grant deadline? A public relations consultant making final edits to a press release? I can help. I have written and published dozens of articles and press releases, edited both popular magazines and academic journals, and developed and managed websites. I can research and write convincingly on most topics and adapt my prose to fit the setting and audience. As a former journalist and editor, I also appreciate what publications are looking for in a submission and how best to match a work’s tone with its intended audience.
